I just measured my 2003 205v single axle trailer with the torsion axle. It is 78" from the back of the trailer to the center of the axle. It appears that direct drive and v-drive 205 hull trailers are the same or you have a 205v trailer. Would be interesting to hear the measurements from someone else with a direct drive 96+ 205.

Jrw160, is your trailer serialed as a PS205V trailer? My 06 x1 trailer is apprx 70" from the rear of the prop guard cross member to the middle of the tire.

I was wondering, will an '85 Stars and Stripes fit on this without modifying the trailer? I'm close and would be interested.

IMO, too much variance in the trailers for the 85 and what this trailer offers. I'm sure it would work (per se) but I'd just as soon use like-for-like for the 85 needs. Hull and support needs vary from that year trailer application.

Cloaked, thanks for the input. When you say variance, do you mean like angle of the forward v bunk and or the trailer bunks that support the hull? I've searched and searched for an exact replacement trailer for mine. Pete had found one for me, but between the 700 mile round trip and what i would need to do to the trailer (lights, guide poles) and the purchase of the trailer it wasn't worth it. I've talked to a lot of people about refurbishing it, but it really is too far gone to refurbish. My neighbor actually works for a comapny that repairs RV's and trailers and even he said the expense to just get it roadworthy again (temp fix) and refurbishing it isn't worth it. The boat is from the east coast and so its rusted all to hell to the point that the two main beams have vertical rust crakcs halfway through them. Not to mention the surge brake accuator that slides in and out when towing.
